Sheep Week

April 18, 2014

Name our lamb!

We’re asking for your help again this year to name the Colonial Williamsburg lamb. Last year, you gave us William and Mary.

It’s a new year and we have a new lamb. This woolly addition to our Leicester Longwool family needs a name.

Everything WILLIAMSBURG will bring an ewe and a lamb to the Williamsburg Farmer’s Market from 8:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday, April 19 — weather permitting. They’ll be at a booth just outside Everything WILLIAMSBURG new location at Merchants Square on Duke of Gloucester Street. Take some photos, talk with coach and livestock staff, and suggest a name for the newborn.

In 18th century taverns, citizens exchanged ideas and opinions about the events of the day. The Tavern renews that tradition, featuring thoughtful commentary on current events and how they relate to American history and citizenship.
